Audacity

I was going through some of my old things last night and ran across a bunch of old cassette tapes that I have. Poking around I realized that I had a lot of old music that I like and am limited to one tape deck, which was disconnected, to play it on.

Thinking I may have just found a new and interesting project, I decided to connect my tape deck to my PC and look for some software to record with. As usual, off to sourceforge I went and it was there that I found Audacity.

Audacity was easy to install, easy to configure, and easy to use. Without really having to know anything about editing audio I was able to record my music from the line in on the sound card, easily remove the dead air from the beginning and end of the songs, and easily export my recorded song to multiple formats.

I see no reason to try any other software package as Audacity does what I want to do. Let's just hope this project stays interesting long enough for me to get through all those old songs so I don't have to keep this tape deck on my desk to enjoy my music.
